LEAKS
a. It is necessary to know how fluid leaks affect equipment operation and readiness. The following
definitions for types/classes of leakage shall be observed.
Class I
Seepage of fluid (as indicated by wetness or discoloration) not great enough to form drops.
Class II
Leakage of fluid great enough to form drops but not enough to cause drops to drip from
item being checked/inspected.
Class III Leakage of fluid great enough to form drops that fall from the item being
checked/inspected.
b. Identify and report any sign of leakage, and perform all maintenance and repair. Refer to chapter 5
bridge pallet maintenance in this manual.
c. Under emergency conditions where use of the hydraulic system is necessary to complete the mission,
consideration must be given to the fluid capacity and the leak classification. Class III leaks must be
reported to the maintenance supervisor immediately.
